Number of projects planned

This will depend on approved e-MERLIN and VLBI programmes during the period of e-MERLIN commissioning.

* Estimated quantity of access in next 12 months

The detailed quantity of access over the next 12 months will depend on the e-MERLIN commissioning timescale; however it is expected that it will exceed the contracted number of hours.

Problems / Issues

Issues - organisational, administrative or other problems foreseen

e-MERLIN commissioning will prove disruptive for TNA access to the enhanced instrument. However, as time becomes available we expect a very significant increase in demand for TNA time. e-MERLIN should become fully operational by Q4 2010.

Red flags - major problems

None envisaged

Forward Look

Plan for next year – 12 month outlook, more detail in first 6 month (including budget)
